The document discusses how rotating a curve about the x-axis generates different 3D shapes. Specifically, rotating the curve y=x generates a cone, while rotating a different curve would generate a cylinder. It explains how integrating the area of disks, where the area A equals πr^2 and r equals the function f(x), yields the volume of the rotated shape. The variable dx represents the thickness of each disk being integrated.

Why does needed if we wanted to generate a cylinder and not a V = x 2 dx cone when rotating about the Generate a cone when x-axis? Use the space below rotated about the x- to draw out the scenario first, axis? then write out f(x).
How do disks relate to
a cone? Integrating a curve Explain the importance of the yields? variable dx in conjunction to the area of a disk and the volume of a curve.
